Days Are Never Coming Back

System of a Down
Tab
2.9(4)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

System of a down

Highway Song

Steal this Album

I just corrected The name from here, so atleast i can still stir up some controversy,

corrected some small errors but I did tab this from a bootlegged version of the song 5

ago. . . so this version is NOT THE ALBUM version!! the guitar part is completely

or rather Unherd in this version of the song and it didn't have as many dubbed guitars in it.

C,G,C,F,A,D

Soad Tuning

p.h=Pinch of Harmanics

p.m.=Pum mute

LR=Let it ring
